PREFACE.
REGARD for ancestors, with a strong desire to aid in
preserving many of their records from oblivion, is one of
the motives which prompted the compilation of this work.
Genealogy occupies a unique department in literature, in that it
requires unmeasured patience and perseverance and a devoted love
for the work on the part of one who assumes the burden, coupled
with the fact that very inadequate pecuniary reward will be realized
in return for the time expended in producing desired results, so that
the task must be considered purely as a woik of love.
The compiler began his work about twenty years ago by personal
search of records in the early homes of the Cadys in Massachusetts
and Eastern Connecticut. Since then the work has been continued,
as time permitted, by research in many other localities, in private
and public records, and by extensive correspondence with members
of the family in most of the states of the Union. Hundreds of
letters have been sent requesting records, but it is to be regretted
that some of them have received no response, thus allowing a
partial lack of data which a little attention might have supplied.
But the sincere thanks of the compiler are due the majority who
have kindly responded.
The compiler thankfully acknowledges the aid rendered him by
the late Prof. Daniel Cady Eaton of New Haven, who contributed
his researches to be used in the work. By Frederick Waterman
Cady of East Providence, R. I., who turned over his valuable
material which he began collecting many years ago, concerning his
own and some other branches of the family. By the late Dwight
Holmes Cady of Springfield, Mass., for the records and well-drawn
portraiture and environments of his immediate ancestors. By Miss
Flora May King of Somersville, Conn., who, using for a basis the
data left by her cousin, D. H. Cady, has, during the past ten years,
admirably succeeded, with great care and patience, in completing
PREFACE. 5
quite fully the records of the descendants of Daniel Cady of
Stafford, Conn. By Judge William Gere Cady of Syracuse, N. Y.,
for the loan of his carefully collected records of the many families
connected with his branch of the Cadys. By Monroe Marsh Cady,
lawyer, of Dubuque, Iowa, for his many contributions and aid in
other ways. And last, but not least, by Curtis Converse Cady
Bradley of Manchester, Iowa, who has furnished many records, and
by untiring effort has identified William 4 Cady of Plainfield, Conn.,
as the father of Dea. Eleazer Cady of Hinsdale, Mass., about whom
much uncertainty had long existed. These sources of aid, combined
with the long list of those who have so generously responded to the
call for records, have been important factors in contributing to the
successful outcome of this genealogy. Although lack of space forbids
further mention here of individual cases, yet the simplest record
received has been appreciated, and will be by all concerned.
Attention is called to the leading characteristics of a majority of
the descendants of Nicholas Cady, which have been push, progress
and patriotism. They figured largely and honorably in the wars of
the Revolution, of 1812, and in the late Civil strife. They have
always been among the pioneers who have settled the newer portions
of our country, east and west, where also they have been men of
affairs. They have furnished members for Congress and state
legislatures ; large numbers for all the leading professions, for
successful merchants and hosts of private citizens, respected for
their moral worth.
Much material came late to hand which had to be used without
the usual extension. The same cause accounts for most of the
fractional numbers. While the compiler has taken great pains to
insure correctness of statement, he is aware that errors will occur
with the most rigid proof reading and the most kindly intending
copyst. So the compiler would be thankful for the correction of
any errors found in the book. The self-imposed task has been
accomplished and the result is sent forth with the hope that it will
serve as a new bond of family union and that the deeds of honor-
able progenitors may ever be an inspiration for progressive endeavor
on the part of all present and future desecendants of Nicholas Cady,
our worthy ancestor.

EXPLANATIONS.
/" l "V HIS genealogy is arranged according to the plan adopted
by the New England Historical and Genealogical
Register, which has come into general use. Thus on
page 20, the figures on the extreme left of the page denote the
successive numbers of the heads of the families which will be taken
up again ; when a number is omitted before a name it indicates that
such a name will not be mentioned again. Thus on page 20,
number 10-i. James, etc., we find on page 28, where James is
brought up with full particulars and his full family record is given.
The small exponents figures on page 28 which follow, thus:
12 James3 Cady, (James2, Nicholas1)* show the number of
generations from the common ancestor, Nicholas Cady.
Abbreviations. — Abt. for about ; b. for born ; bapt. for baptized ;
ch. for children ; d. for died ; dau. for daughter ; m. for married ;
unm. for unmarried.
Old and New Style. — All dates prior to 1742 are supposed to
conform to the old style then used.
INTRODUCTION.
Origin of the Name of Cady.
ARTHUR, in his Etymological Dictionary of Family Names,
says that Cady is derived from Ca-dia, a Gaelic word
signifying the House of God. He also says that Cadie in
Scottish is an errand boy, a messenger. From the foregoing it
would seem that the name had its origin among the Gael of the
north and was nourished there later by the Scotch, from whom it
found its way over the border into England, where it has long
flourished ; thence it came early to America, where it has taken
deep root and furnished a host of worthy representatives, from the
hardy yeoman to men in business centers and honored names in all
the nobler professions of our land.
This patronymic, like many other names, has undergone many
changes in spelling. In the ancient Hundred Rolls it is Cade, then
Caddie, Caddy, Cadye, Kadye, Cadey, and last, Cady, which form
now holds in this country.
Cady Coats of Arms.
Quite a number of Cadys in several of the English counties have
been honored with coats of arms, viz. : Caddy, i ; Cade in Derby-
shire, 2 ; Cade in Rumford, County Essex, i ; Cade in Greenwich,
County Kent, i ; Cade in County Suffolk, i ; Cadye and Kadye in
County Gloucestershire, 2 ; the latter is described as follows : " On
a mount, vert, a cocatrice, or ; combed and wattled, ducally gorged
and chained, or." *
*Vide BookJofJFamily Crests, vol. 2.
IO DESCENDANTS OF NICHOLAS CADY.
Cadys in England.
Stephen's National Biography says : "The name of Cade was not
uncommon in Sussex, in the neighborhood of Heathfield, in 1450."
We find the name of Walto Cade and Margery Cade in the ancient
document called the Hundred Rolls. In 1450 we find Jack Cade the
leader of a formidable rebellion in Kent. " Over-taxation, the bad
management of the Council, the extortion of the subordinate officers,
the injustice of the king's bench, the abuse of the right of
purveyance, the "enquestes" and amercements, and the illegitimate
control of elections were the chief causes of the rising of 1450."
The rising was political and not religious. It was not a disorderly
mob, but was a well organized rising of the people at large. " The
Commons in 1450 arose against Lancaster and in favor of York.
Their rising was the first great struggle in the Wars of the Roses." *
Cade and his rebels defeated the royal forces at Seven Oaks June
27, and took possession of London July 2, 1450, but soon after they
were beaten in a battle and forced to quit the city. Cade, the
leader, was killed near Heathfield, Sussex, July 12, 1450."!
The Cadys of Devonshire.
In 1892 Prof. Daniel Cady Eaton of Yale University and the
compiler of this work engaged Mr. J. J. Howard, Maltravers' Herald,
an English expert, to search the Registers of Northam, Abbotsham
and Bedford on the western side of Devonshire County, Eng., for
evidence of Cades or Cadys in that locality. The result was that he
copied from the various registers about 900 names of Cadys and the
allied families of Rowe, Hooper, Strange, Lawrence and others, with
whom they had closely intermarried since 1540.
The earliest name in the list is that of William Cade, bapt. in
Northam, Devon County, Nov. 10, 1540, but his parents are not given.
A list of his children followed in due time. As our search failed to
find any trace of Nicholas Cade, a detailed report of the investiga-
tion is not deemed necessary, although there is some probability that
he migrated from this locality.
In a list of Pedigrees in Visitation of the County of Hertford,
1592-1634, there is given the name of Cade of Kings' Langley.

Godfrey Cade was witness to will of Mary Street of Bridgewater,
England, July 16, 1625.*

3, 1620, mentions brothers of his wife, Andrew Cade, Symond Cade,
and the nephew, Walter Cade. Will proved Apr. 5, 1 627.1
Salisbury Cade, b. Kent, Eng., 1660; graduated from Trunly
College, Oxford, Eng., 1691, with title of M. D; d. 1720.
Cades of Derbyshire.
Cade is the name of a very old Derbyshire family, and is to be
found in the early Parish Registers of Chesterfield, Eckington,
Barlborough, Staveley, etc. The Pedigree Register of June, 1909,
just received from London, gives an extended and interesting list of
descendants of John Cade, who in 1327 was one of the six inhabi-
tants of Eckington assessed at 60s for goods. The record extends
from 1327 to about 1800.
The above citations are given to show that the Cadys were not
limited to a single locality but were dispersed from an early date in
many of the English counties, of whom a goodly number were
honored by the bestowment of coats of arms for valor or other
deeds deemed worthy of royal favor.
Migrations of Cadys to America.
James Cade, who settled in Hingham, Mass., 1635, was bapt. May
16, 1611, the son of Christopher Cade, bapt. Apr. 10, 1583, son of
James Cade, bapt. June 29, 1552, all natives of Northam, County
Devon, Eng. The younger, James Cade, married Aug. 21, 1633,
Margaret Browne of Bidford, near Northam. Their first child was
Philip, born in Northam Mar. 20, 1635. Some time in 1635 James
Cade migrated to New England, for we found he "was the first one
to draw his house lot in Hingham, Mass., Sept. 18, 1635 ; his lot
was next to the sea, what is now Ship St., in Hingham." He was
one of the 29 first settlers. J

We next hear of him in Boston, Dec. 4, 1638, when he and his
wife Margaret mortgaged their property in Northam, lately belonging
to his father, Christopher Cade, and his mother, May Hopper. In
this mortgage he styles himself as a shipwright.* His wife Margaret
was admitted to the church in Boston 19 (1) 1643. Their child
Margaret was born 4 (8) 1640. The last we hear of him is that he
removed to Yarmouth (probably Nova Scotia).
In a list of persons licensed to go beyond the seas is given the
name of William Caddy, Jan. 2, 1634, to be transported to Virginia
in barque Bonaventure. Also ticket granted to Hubert Henry on
ship John and Henry for Bristol, Thomas Cades, commander.
Benjamin Cady of Andover, Mass., m. Feb. 16, 1664, Mary, dau. of
Keyes of Newbury. Jonathan Cady of Rowley m. Nov. 12, 1667,
Esther Chandler of Andover. We hear no more of either of these
last two Cadys.
A Peter Cade was of Boston and on March 12, 1738, was chosen
constable and excused.f He was keeping tavern in Cambridge in
1748, and died in 1752, leaving a son Peter, aged 14. | Josiah Cady
came from England and made a permanent settlement in Canaan,
Conn., date not given, but his oldest son, Josiah, born in England,
died 1800 in Falls Village, Conn. From the fact that William, the
oldest child of Josiah2, was born in 1785, it would appear that the
elder Josiah did not come to this country till about 1760. Descend-
ants still remain in Litchfield Co., Conn., and elsewhere.
"Thomas Cade of Sturgis, St. Joseph Co., Mich., was born in
Yorkshire, Eng., Jan. 7, 1786; died at Sturgis, March 9, 1879, in
94th year. He emigrated in July, 1830, going directly to Sturgis,
where he purchased 320 acres of prairie land. He was always
engaged in agriculture, was successful and was of most honorable
and honest character. He left three sons, Stephen W., well known
for his generosity, served as supervisor for many years with credit ;
another son Joseph has a handsome farm and buildings." §

DESCENDANTS OF NICHOLAS CADY
Of Watertown and Groton, Mass., 1645 — 1909.
WHILE we have no certain knowledge of the locality in
England whence Nicholas Cady came to this country,
or the exact date of his advent here, yet one or two
suggestions are offered, either of which may possibly be a solution
of the matter.
For a time it was throught that he was a son or brother of James
Cade of Hingham, both of which assumptions have been disproved,
for James Cade was not married till 1633, a date too late for
Nicholas to have been his son, and the will of Christopher Cade
proved that he had no son Nicholas. The search in Devon County,
Eng., failed to find a Nicholas Cady, yet he may have been born
there, for the Registers give evidence that during several years no
entries were made, and in a number of cases the entries were not
legible, which fact leaves one with a feeling of doubt.
Another suggestion is that he came over a minor in 1630 with
William Knapp, as a carpenter's apprentice, for we know that
Nicholas Cady was a carpenter, as was William Knapp, who came
from near Bury St. Mary, County Suffolk, Eng., where he left his
daughter, Elizabeth, who had married ; and as there were Cades at
Stoken Stein in the same county at that time, it is quite reasonable
to suppose that Nicholas Cady, a younger son, might have been
bound out as an apprentice to Knapp, as was the custom of the
time, and that he might have been allowed to migrate with his
master to America, as many another scion had done. We know
that Nicholas was very intimately connected with the Knapp family
for some years before his marriage with Judith, the daughter of
William Knapp ; which fact adds force to the supposition that he
14 DESCENDANTS OF NICHOLAS CADY.
might have been a member of the family as an apprentice. The
very first undoubted record we have of him is a partnership with
John, the son of William Knapp, as follows, from Suffolk Deeds,
book i, p. 66-67, dated 8 (10) 1645 :
"Wm Potter of Watertown granted unto Nicholas Cadey and
John Knapp his house in Watertown, house lott of Eight Acres
adjoining unto John Bassetts lott and three Acres meadow in the
remote meadow bounded with Isaac Mixters, East & John Water-
bury west and south & dividends on the north. Also six Acres
upland in the Liev of the township & a certaine ffarme be layed out
according to his pportion & this was by an absolute dead of sale
8 (10) 1645
Witness That Purchas, Wm Aspenwall, Acknowleged before the
D: Gov:"
The record of the sale of the above-mentioned interest to John
Knapp is as follows :
"Suffolk Deeds, book 1, p. 134. Nicholas Cadye for valuable
consideration did grant assigne & make over unto John Knap of
Watertown all his right & title in & unto a certain house & houses
granted jointed to them both by a deed dated 8 (10) 1645 and this
was by assignment dated 6 ( ) 1650 signed and marked & dd in
presence of Wm Aspenwall & Theopilus Manning."
Nicholas Cady married Judith Knapp, dau. of William of Water-
town. No date has been found, but presumably about 1648.
The following is taken from Bond's Watertown :
Wm. Knapp, a carpenter, proprietor, 1636-7, probably came in
1630 with Nicholas Knapp. William died Aug. 30, 1658, aged
about 80. Will dated 1655 shows his heirs to have been :
William, who d. Sept. 25, 1676; m. (1) Mary; m. (2) Margaret.
John, b. 1624; m. May 25, 1660, Sarah Young.
James, b. 1627 ; m. 1654, Elizabeth Warren.
Mary ; m. Thomas Smith of Watertown.
Judith ; m. Nicholas Cady of Watertown.
Anne ; m. Thomas Philbrick ; was dead and her children took her
share.
Elizabeth Buttery, widow, of Bury St. Mary, Suffolk, Eng. ; her
share ^ was sold by Attorney T. Danforth to Nathaniel Coolidge.
William Knapp mentions no wife in his will, but in the settlement
of his estate his widow, Priscilla, received one-third of it, besides a
DESCENDANTS OF NICHOLAS CADY. 1 5
debt due to her for a sum loaned before marriage by Widow Priscilla
Akers. He married (probably between the writing of his will and
his death) Priscilla, widow of Thomas Akers; most of his estate
passed from the possession of his heirs to that of Nathaniel
Coolidge. In 1652 Nicholas Cady, with others, took the oath of
fidelity.* On 5 (2) 1653, Nicholas Cady was of the Train Band of
Watertown, under Capt. Mason.f December 24, 1667, Nicholas
Cady, carpenter, of Watertown, exchanges house and land at
Watertown, Mass., with John Clary, carpenter, as follows :
"This indenture made the 24 day of December Anne Domina
1667 between John Clary, senr of the town of Watertown in the
County of Middlesex, carpenter on ye one part and Nicholas Cady,
carpenter of the same Town and County on the other part, Witnesseth
That the said John Clary in consideration of an exchange of a
certain house and land lying and being in the Township of Water-
town to him in hand paid by ye sd Nicholas Cady at the sealing and
delivery of this whereof ye said John Clary doth acknowledge the
receipt & himself therewith fully satisfied & paid thereof Doth fully
& absolutely acquit & discharge the said Nicholas Cady his heirs

Clary his now wife in so forever surrendering up her thirds according
to law in the several Lands promising expense in this writing with

unto said Nicholas Cadey his heirs, assigns forever, his whole
accommodations lying & being in the Township of Groton aforesaid,
Viz : — One house & house lott with the addition fifty one acres,
more or less lying on both sides of ye County highway."
The above was not placed on record for many years, as shown by
the following :
"John Clary of Watertown appeared before me the thirty one
day of July & freely acknowledged the writing to be his act & Deed

children.f
He must have removed to Groton in the early part of 1668, for
we find that on Sept. 10, 1668, Nicholas Cady of Groton, planter,
and wife Judith, sold to G. Lawrence six acres of land in Water-
town and five acres of meadow in Cambridge.
On the 3d of the nth month, 1669, a description of his land in
Groton, Mass., was recorded.
Dec. 10, 1671, Nicholas Cady was surveyor at Groton. His name
appears among others on the Indian rolls of land grants that were
made before the town of Groton was burned by the Indians in 1676.
The Indian war commenced Mar. 13, 1676, and Groton was
assaulted and burned by them, and the inhabitants who had taken
refuge in the garrison house were rescued by Capt. Sills Lee with
fifty dragoons and 60 carts, who had been sent to rescue them.
Many of the inhabitants sought shelter at Concord, where a meeting
of the former residents of Groton was held Dec. 12, 1677, to
consider the rebuilding of the town. Nicholas Cady's name
not appearing in the list of those who desired to do so, and from
the fact that on May 14, 1678, Nicholas Cady of Cambridge bought
of John Wincoll 60 acres of land in Cambridge for ^17-ios,
inclines one to believe that he did not return to Groton for some
time. He was probably in Mr. Williams' garrison, for in a paper to
the General Court, dated at Groton March 14, 1676, it states that
"Daniel Adams did kill one Indian at Mr. Williams' garrison.
Witness John Cady & Samuel Wood. We saw him fall to the
ground and not raise up again, Nicholas Cady."
Jan. 9, 1679, Nicholas Cady conveys to his daughter Judith, now
the wife of Alexander Rouse, for and in consideration of the natural
affection and parental love for her, eleven acres of land in Groton,
Mass.
June 8, 1680, he was chosen surveyor.
December, 1680, he is mentioned among lists of heads of families.
In t68i he paid a tax of 18s 2d (only one person in Groton was
taxed more^T"'

of land at the South Sid of ingin hill at the Sid of his own lot Soo
he Dooe in no way in trench upon the hye way."
In 1673 and 1675 Corporal Cady was appointed one of the fence
viewers, who no doubt was Nicholas Cady, who had received military
instruction under Capt. Mason in the Train Band at Watertown.
On May 12, 1712, John Cady of Groton sells to Capt. Jonas
Prescott of G., "Several parcels of land with half the later Rights
belonging to Old Nicholas Cady, that doth now appear to be
disposed of."* On May 16, 17 12, John Cady, husbandman, of
Groton, sells several parcels of land, describing them "with one-
half ye town rights formerly Nicholas Cadys, deceased, or now
mine the Sd John Cady's."t
We have no record of the date of the death of Nicholas Cady,
or that of his wife Judith, or the place of their demise ; but doubt-
less their last days were spent in Groton, and from the last two items
above we infer that Nicholas Cady lived with his oldest son, John,
to whom fell a goodly portion of his father's limited estate. We
also learn that he had deceased prior to 17 12. Nicholas Cady
resided near Cady's Pond, named for him, located about a mile
southeasterly from the village of Groton, on the Boston road.
The foregoing account, simple and unpretentious, is all that the
records of the past vouchsafe to us of the life our ancestor,

Nicholas Cady, and his wife Judith. We would gladly draw aside
the veil that enshrouds so much of their lives in mystery, but as that
is impossible we are left to read between the lines of some of the
probabilities connected with them.
If our surmise is correct, that Nicholas Cady was a native of
Suffolk County, Eng., and came over with William Knapp in 1630;
he may have been a connection, near or remote, of that Cade of
Suffolk who bore a Coat of Arms, or of that Edward Cade of Stoken
Steen, a contemporary in 1634. After the completion of his
apprenticeship to William Knapp (providing he was an apprentice)
he marries the daughter of his master, and in Watertown, where he
first settles, all his children are born ; then he goes to Groton, where
a strenuous life begins in a new settlement with all the incidents
which that statement brings to mind, to which was added later a life
in garrison with a constant fear of savage assault, so imminent that
all sought safety in retreat, leaving their homes to be burned by the
Indian enemy. Several years later he returned to spend his days in
Groton, where peace and prosperty is enjoyed, surrounded by his
children, and honored by his fellow-citizens, who appreciate his
worth.
No lettered tablets mark the last resting place of Nicholas Cady
and his wife Judith ; their only monuments were their children,
whose successful and honored careers testified to the wealth of
mental endowment inherited from their parents.

1699 to 1712. We find him in Canterbury, Conn., May 28, 1716,
where he bought real estate and transferred it the same day to his
son Jonathan, with whom he doubtless arranged to live. As yet no
date has been found of the marriage of John Cady and Joanna
, but it is reasonable to suppose that it was about 1676, when
he would have been twenty-five years of age. The birth dates of
his older children are not recorded, and it is evident that four other
children ought to be added to his family, not on the records, for
there seems to be no other legitimate place for them among the
Cady families of Groton, where the records are sadly lacking in full
dates. For reasons jj.ven in the proper place, we feel justified in
adding the names of 1 'annah, Esther, Mary and John to the fully
accredited list of John and Joanna Cady's children, with the
approximate dates of their birth.

7 mo., 1 71 2, in which a certain sum was devised to Hannah Cady or
her heirs. The inventory of James Cady's estate was ^69 9s.*
Administration was granted to John and Joseph Cady on estate of
their brother, James Cady of Groton, deceased, June 16, 1691.
This is the language of the original court record ; in the copy as
often quoted it is James instead of Joseph. It would seem that
James Cady was of Watertown, where his first child, James, was
born, and that a little later he also removed to Groton, where he
was living at the time of his death. The date of death of his
widow, Hannah, is not known. Of James Cady's children James,
Elizabeth and Aaron are known to be such, and the others in the
following list are such with great probability, for there seems
nowhere else to place them.

town of Canterbury for ^104 a tract of 600 acres adjoining Tatnick

settled on this farm with his large family, and there he spent his
days in peace and prosperity. He represented the town of Canter-
bury in the Connecticut General Assembly in 17 17. In 1724 he
gave land for a burying place, which now forms the original part of

was one of the early settlers. He bought up many grants of land
and sold to other settlers. He removed from Old Killingly prior to
1720 and located in Preston, Conn., where he purchased a mill
property and conducted it till his death. Patience, his widow, was

Davis, b. Groton, Mass., Aug. 12, 1667. Capt. Joseph Cady d.
Killingly, Conn., Dec. 29, 1742. Date of his wife's death has not
been ascertained. Dr. Samuel Green, the Groton historian, is the
authority for stating that Davis was the surname of Joseph Cady's
wife, as noted in the following extract, written by him in July, 1907,
to Judge F. A. Henry of Cleveland, O. :
"In my copy of Butler's History of Groton, p. 391, I have written
Davis after the name of Sarah, wife of Joseph Cady. I probably
got it from the Middlesex Probate record office at Cambridge. In
connection with this matter I would refer you to the Groton
Historical Series 3, p. 365, where you will find some facts about the
Davis family."
Referring to the above book as directed, we find the name Sarah
Davis, she being one of a family of eight children of Samuel and
Mary Davis of Groton, Mass.
Joseph Cady removed to Groton with his parents when he was an
infant, and in that town he spent his youth and young manhood ;
then, at the age of ten, he began to experience the strenuous life of
the early settlers of Massachusetts, in the three assaults of the
Indians in the month of March, 1676, when the inhabitants sought
protection in their garrisoned houses, which were bravely defended
till relieved by Capt. Lee of Cambridge, who escorted them and their
effects to Concord ; there also he had service with his brothers,
John, Daniel and Nicholas, in the garrison defense of the town
during the Indian disturbances of 1691-2. After immediate danger
from the Indians was past, he returned with the other people who
had left Groton, who sought to repair the damage they had
sustained. In 1695 he was chosen Constable of Groton, and was
granted permission by the General Court to keep an inn from 1699
to 1 701. He disposed of his real estate in Groton Feb. 22, 1702/3,
and on Jan. 20, 1703, he bought 150 acres of land for ,£20 of John
Chandler of Woodstock, located in Aspinock,* later called Killingly,
now Putnam, Conn., where he removed his family and where he
spent the remainder of his life. This farm was located north of the
old Providence road, about one mile easterly from the present city
of Putnam. The site of his first abode, a log house, can still be
identified on the south side of the farm. As an evidence of his

prosperity, he built a pretentious house in 17 14, which was occupied
by himself and descendants for many years. The general appear-
ance of the house may be judged from the photograph herewith
given. The writer visited the old house in 1895 and found it
deserted by tenants and fast going to ruin. It had a frontage of
two stories ; in the center was the conventional stone chimney of
the olden days, with a huge oven and fireplace in the kitchen, and
fireplaces for the reception and family rooms. There were six
rooms of varying size on each floor, of ample proportion and
convenience.
A short time before his death Joseph Cady Jun. sold this home-
stead to Darius Session, Deputy Governor of Rhode Island, who
made it his summer residence ; a few years later, during the dark
days of the Revolution, this house became a familiar resort for noted
men, including Washington, who is said to have been entertained
there during one of his trips across the country. It next came into
the possession of Solomon Cleveland, whose brilliant family became
the center of attraction in the old township.*
In the course of time this property changed from hand to hand,
and finally became the home for changing tenants till it was deserted
in 1893, when it was said to have been the oldest standing house in
N. E. Connecticut.
The ability of Joseph Cady found early recognition in his newly-
adopted home, for in 1708 he was chosen Lieutenant of the soldiers
or Train Band of Aspinock, and confirmed as such by act of the
Colonial Assembly in same year.| In 172 1 the Train Band was
reorganized and Joseph Cady was chosen Captain, Ephraim Warren,
Lieutenant, and Thomas Gould, Ensign. J During his captaincy
Luther Rasle's war resulted in Lovewell's expedition and the New
England colonies were in a ferment, and Capt. Joseph Cady was one
of the "three military officers" from Killingly who were engaged, as
stated by Miss Larned. On returning from one of these perilous
expeditions he was thus greeted by an old squaw whose family he
had befriended : " Oh, Massa Cady, I glad to see you ; I so glad I
could drink a whole quart of rum."§ Capt. Cady was noted for his

giant frame and physical prowess, and he gained notable influence
over the Indians, with whom he had much intercourse, from the fact
that his farm produced quantities of their sacred medicinal herbs, for
which they came in often quest, and as this was considered neutral
ground they left their animosities behind.
However, the following tale relates an unfortunate result of a
friendly meeting with an Indian :
"As Joseph Cady was one day cutting brush alone, an Indian
approached him from the neighboring forest and expressed a strong
desire to try the skill of a white man in wrestling. Cady thought to
himself that if he could throw the fellow it might operate to deter
the Indians from hostilities against the settlements, and accordingly
accepted the challenge. Both men struggled long and desperately ;
but Cady at last prevailed and the Indian was prostrated. Unfor-
tunately he fell among the brush which his antagonist had been
cutting, and one of the sharp stumps perforating his skull, he died
on the spot."*
Capt. Joseph Cady had charge of the public lands of Killingly for
many years, and was a useful man of general public affairs, as the
many town records of him testify. On March 25, 1728, he was
chosen townsman. He was Deputy, or Representative, from
Killingly in 1 731-1734.

and Sarah Warner. The following is the record at Concord, Mass. :
" Samuel Warner and Hannah Cady, both of Groton, were married
at Concord Oct. 15, 1706." The inscription on the gravestone of
Hannah, wife of Samuel Warner, is that she died April 22, 1775, in
her 98th year, making her born 1677/8. This proves the statement
impossible that Hannah, the widow of James Cady, married Samuel
Warner. It also proves that Hannah was not a daughter of James
and Hannah Cady, who were married June 14, 1678, and whose first
child, James, was born nine months later, viz.: April 1, 1679.
Granted that Hannah was a daughter of John and Joanna Cady, we
have a good reason for her being called Hannah, as a compliment to
the wife, Hannah Barron, who had that same year married James,
the brother of John Cady.

11. Sergt. John3 Cady, (James2, Nicholas1), b. Watertown,
Mass., abt. 1680; m. abt. 1698, Elizabeth ; m. (2) Elizabeth,
probably dau. of John and Sarah (Fitch) Stoughton, b. Feb. 19,
1692, and widow of Joseph Mather, who d. Nov. 7, 17 17. The date
of neither marriage is known. Sergt. John Cady d. Sept. 6, 1751 ;
his widow, Elizabeth Cady, d. Feb. 29, 1760; both buried in East
Windsor, Conn. The first wife was probably the mother of the five
oldest children.
The following account of Sergt. John Cady is taken from the notes
given the compiler of this work by Prof. Daniel Cady Eaton several
years before his death :
"John Cady, probably the son of James. The records of
transfers of land show his residence in Groton, Mass., 1 699-1 701 ;
Plainfield, Conn., 1704; Canterbury, 1704-1721; Tolland, 1721-
1725; Willington, 1 725-1 727; Windsor, 17 28-1 739; Coventry,
1740; Tolland, 1740. Probably he soon returned to Windsor,
where he d. Sept. 6, 175 1. One of the Tolland deeds, Sept. 6,
1721, conveys to his "brother Daniel Cady of Tolland 254 acres of
land for ^65." Another deed, from Daniel Cady Jr. of Canterbury
to "my brother John Cady of Willington," dated Aug. 3, 1725^
reconveys the same land for ^160. Investigations in Windham
county show that this Daniel Cady Jr. was neither Daniel Cady of
Tatnick Hill (Brooklyn) nor his son, but was the Daniel Cady who
came from Groton to Aspinock on the Quinnebaug River in 1707,
and lived most of his life in Killingly. In the History of Windham
County, Daniel Cady of Aspinock is confused with Daniel Cady of
Tatnick Hill, who was a son of Nicholas Cady of Watertown.
Similarly, Sergt. John Cady is confused by Bond and Savage with
his uncle John, son of Nicholas Cady, for Joanna, wife of John Sr.,
was living long after John Jr. had children born by his wife Elizabeth.
That this John Cady was the son of James Cady of Groton is
inferred from the following facts : He lived in Groton with the
other Cadys, and with them came to Connecticut. Aaron, the proved
son of James Cady, followed John to Canterbury and afterwards
went likewise to Tolland and Canterbury. Cornelius, grandson of
James and son of James Jr., also went to Coventry. Dr. Aaron
Cady is asserted to have been either brother or cousin to Ebenezer,
son of John Cady, by the descendants of both Dr. Aaron and
Ebenezer, who settled together in Columbus Co., N. Y. John's age,
30 DESCENDANTS OF NICHOLAS CADY.
as given on his tombstone, conflicts with this belief, but ages on
tombstones are often wrong, as for instance : On the tombstone of
Daniel Cady of Tatnick Hill and of Ebenezer, son of this very John.
The families of the other sons of Nicholas are known, but in the
family record of James there is a blank of seven years from the
birth of James in 1679 t0 Elizabeth in 1688, which blank is the
only place where the names of John, Daniel and Abigail can be
inserted."
The compiler of this work takes the same view as stated above
by Prof. Eaton, with the exception that the William whom the
Professor originally included in the list was doubtless a son of
Joseph Cady, a brother of James. This opinion is shared by others
who have given the subject careful thought.
During this year (1909) a careful research under the charge of
C. C. C. Bradley of Manchester, Iowa, has brought to light in the
records of the Probate office at Hartford, Conn., the settlement of
John Cady's estate. The estate was appraised Oct. 1, 1751, by
Pelatiah Bliss, Thomas Drake and Aaron Bissell. Among things
mentioned were silver buttons, ivory-headed staff, notes against a
dozen parties, a Bible, but no land. Administration was granted to
Elizabeth Cady and John Smith, Dec. 1, 1751 :
" Distribution of the estate of Sergt. John Cady, deceased, made
by us the subscribers under oath Jan. 9, 1753. The total amount
allowed to each is given here, made up of cash, notes or goods.
To the widow, Elizabeth Cady, £271-9-10; John Cady,
.£90-9-1 1 ; William Cady, £90-9-5 ; Ebenezer Cady, .£90-9-11 ;
Elizabeth Cady heirs, £90-9-11 ; Deliverance Cady, £90-9-11.

Cady, Eleazer Cady, Ephraim Grant Jr., Josiah Goodrich, Simon

clerk."
In the distribution, Eleazer signed, but his share does not appear ;
it is probable that he had been given his share before his father's
death. Ephraim Grant Jr. signed for his mother's estate, she having

(Cady). For whom Josiah Goodrich signed I do not know.
The estate of John Cady as returned by the administratrix
amounted to ,£959-12-9, less debts and charges of ,£145-3-9,
leaving a balance of ,£814-9-5. John, William and Eleazer, sons
of Sergt. John Cady, are said to have been in the English army

1682; m. Abigail Philbrick, b. March 6, 1686/7, dau. of
Ephraim and Elizabeth (Barron) Philbrick. He d. in 1744 in
Killingly, Conn. The date of death of his wife Abigail has not
been found. It has been claimed that Daniel Cady married his
cousin, Abigail Cady, dau. of John, but the following facts prove
this claim to be an error.
Ephraim Philbrick, a brother of Abigail, wife of Daniel Cady,
died without issue in 1775, and a part of his estate was inherited
by Jedediah, son of Daniel and Abigail Cady, and a nephew of said
Ephraim Philbrick. Another portion of said estate was inherited
by Moses Winter, also a nephew, and a son of Samuel and Elizabeth
(Philbrick) Winter. This Moses Winter was a brother of Elizabeth
Winter, who married Samuel Cady (Stephen 3, Capt. Joseph2,
Nicholas1)-
Daniel Cady removed from Groton, Mass., to Killingly, Conn., in
1707, then known as Aspinock, and settled on a farm adjoining that
of his uncle, Capt. Joseph Cady, where he resided till 1721, when
32 DESCENDANTS OF NICHOLAS CADY.
he is said to have removed for a short time to Tolland. He was o
Canterbury in 1725 and again of Killingly in 1730. In the spring
of 1 741 Daniel Cady and son Timothy of Killingly purchased of
Samuel Chapman of Tolland 245 acres of land in the town of
Stafford, Conn. " Said land lieth toward the North West corner of
said township. The consideration paid was ^430, current money.
The deed was dated April 21, 1741." It was recorded March 26,
1742, in Stafford Town Records, vol. 2, p. 68. It is said they were
the first persons by the name of Cady to own land in Stafford. Its
location as near as can be ascertained was on what is now an
abandoned road running east and west, north of what is known as
Pond Hill and a mile or more southwest of what is called Ziklag
Schoolhouse, in the northwest district.*
After the death of Daniel Cady, the Stafford farm came into the
possession of his sons, Timothy and Jonas,* for whose benefit the
farm had been purchased. Daniel Cady's farm in Killingly finally
passed into the possession of William Larned, who built a large
house thereon, which is still standing (1895), forming a part of the
residence of William Plumer.

He served as town and society clerk, Deputy to the General Court,
and held for many years the office of Justice. He was a man of
substantial and progressive ideas ; foremost in every scheme for
public advancement. He was a constituent member of Pomfret's
Farmers' Library Association of 1739. He built for his daughter
Damaris, the wife of Rev. Pearley Howe, the gambrel-roofed house
still standing on Putnam Heights, and sent his grandson, Joseph
Howe, to Yale College. He was the first man to set up a coach or
wheeled vehicle."* He was fond of reading and well versed in the
books of his day. The first record book of Thompson Parish still
bears testimony to his carefulness and skilled penmanship.

seems no other family to whom he could well be credited. The

are found in the list of early baptisms in Killingly. The family

The statement in the Kingsbury genealogy that William Cady died
prior to 1747 has just been disproved by an expert research under
the direction of C. C. C. Bradley of Manchester, Iowa, as will be
seen in the following briefs taken from the Plainfield and other
records :
William Cady first bought land in Plainfield in 1739 and sold it in
1740, in which year his father gave him land in Coventry, Conn., to
which town he removed and where he lived for some years. In
1748 he is back in Plainfield, when he buys land there. In 1750 he
buys more land, which he sells to son William in 1759. On Jan. 9,
1753, he signs for his share of his father's estate, as has been shown
in his father's record. The last record of land bought by him is in
1762. In 1772 he was of Ashuelot Equivalent (later Windsor,
Mass.), when he sells land in Plainfield to son-in-law David Sheperd.
In 1777 Timothy Laraby of Windham, Conn., attorney for William
Cady of Gageborough, Mass., sells property for him in Plainfield.

This is the last land record we find of William Cady Sen. He
probably settled in that part of the territory set off to Dalton, as the
Cadys are said to have been early in that town. The family tradi-
tion is that William Cady removed from Dalton or near vicinity to
Saratoga, where he purchased a large tract of land which included
the present famous Saratoga springs. The house had been or was
then used as a hotel, and that himself and wife were buried in an
old cemetery on or near his property. Some 15 years ago one of
his descendants visited the cemetery, which had been long neglected,
and the inscriptions on the gravestones had become unreadable. It
is rather unlikely that William Sen. purchased land in Saratoga after
1777, but it is quite likely that his grandson Jeremiah did, as he
moved to Saratoga county, and it may be reasonable that his grand-
father went with him.
From the foregoing, and the finding of the record on the church
books in Plainfield of the baptism of Eleazer, son of William and
Phebe Cady, Oct. 15, 1749, the long-mooted question of the parent-
age of the said Eleazer is forever set at rest, although the record in
Eleazer Cady's Bible gives his birth as Sept. 6, 1750, instead of
1749, but a slight discrepancy like this sometimes occurs.

wife, a most amiable woman and devout Christian, survived her
husband many years, nearly to the close of the century, and rests
beside her husband and children in the cemetery in Canaan.
At the time of his marriage he was registered from Lyme, Conn.
He had received from his father in December, 1736, a gift of 53
acres of land in Windsor, Conn., "next to the great river," but
probably he did not locate upon it, for it seems that soon after
marriage he was of Tolland, where the birth of his daughter
Prudence is recorded. Three years later he was of Lyme, where
the next two children were born ; then he was of Coventry, where
the remaining children were born. Whether he returned to Lyme
is not certain, but probably he did. He settled with his family in
New Concord, now Canaan, Columbia county, N. Y., about 1764,
where he remained till his death.
It is said that all the seven sons of the family had service in the
Revolutionary war, which speaks well for their patriotism.

Stafford cemetery. In April, 1741, Daniel Cady, with an older
brother of Jonas, purchased a tract of 245^ acres of land in the
northwest division of Stafford as before noted. Daniel, the father,
bought the land for the benefit of two of his sons, Jonas and
Timothy. As the deed was not recorded till March, 1742, it is
presumed they did not remove to Stafford till that year.
In Stafford Records, vol. 2, p. 131, we find that Daniel Cady
transferred his interest in the 245 £ acres to his son Jonas as follows :
"In consideration of ,£250 current money, well and truly paid by
my well and beloved son, Jonas Cady of Stafford, the one moiety
one half part of a Certain Tract or parcle of Land Containing Two
hundred and forty five acres and half." This deed was given Jan. 9,
1744. It would seem that the two brothers occupied the land jointly
till 1752, when we find on the Town Records, vol. 3, p. 279, that
each deeded to the other a half interest in the farm in consideration
of ;£io6 in bills of public credit, thus becoming separate owners.
The writer, with Rev. C. C. Lyon, visited this old farm in August,
1909. It is located on a branch road turning off from the Lull
district road near the residence of Mr. Kellogg, which leads to the
farm of Harlow Kibbe on the west. Most of the road is now closed
as it is not in condition for public travel, as the old Cady place is
now without a tenant and has largely grown up to brush. The
house, built by the brothers Jonas and Timothy before 1750, was,
according to tradition, a large structure two stories in front and one
in the rear, much like the illustration of the Capt. Joseph Cady
house as found in this volume. We found the ancient foundation on
which it was built, suited for a large building, and where a second
and smaller house was erected which is now in utter ruins. The farm,
was one of the most rocky in Stafford ; the old stone walls laid up
for fences still remain in evidence of the great labor expended by the
brothers. Why they located on such hard soil is a wonder, when
much better land was cheap and available, yet like most of the Cady
tribes, they were thrifty and made a success of life. In Oct., 1759,
the General Court of Connecticut appointed and commissioned
Jonas Cady Ensign of the 13th Company of the 5th Regt.
According to the tradition, the families of Jonas and Timothy
Cady, with others in the neighborhood, often repaired at nightfall to
the large house which stood on the present site of the Dea. Alden
Davis house in Somers, for mutual protection against the roving

Palmer, who married Aaron Cady, Judge Wheeler, author of the
History of Stonington, Conn., says that by mistake he left out her
name, and that she was the daughter of Jonathan and Mercy
(Manning) Palmer, and sister of Prudence, who married Ebenezer
Cady, both being married at the same time.
Immediately after marriage Aaron Cady settled in Coventry,
Conn., as indicated by this entry on the Coventry records, Nov. 29,
1738.
"Aaron Cady of Coventry, to son Aaron Cady Jr., and Ann Cady
his wife, 20 acres for ^20."
The next entry is as follows :
"Jan. 23, 1739/40, Aaron Cady and his wife Annah Cady of
Coventry to Ebenezer Stiles of Coventry ^115 for 20 acres."
On April 9, 1739, we find Aaron Cady in Tolland, and on June
23, 1740, he had a deed of land in Tolland from his father. The
last record of him in Tolland is in 1741. We find him in Canter-
bury, Dec. 7, 1 746, when the birth of his son Nathaniel is recorded ;
and lastly there in 1752, when his dau. Elizabeth was born. Shortly
after this he seems to have removed to Stonington, Conn. In a
letter from J. Cady Brown of Minaville, N. Y., written in 1868 to
Prof. D. C. Eaton, he says his great-grandfather, Aaron Cady, "was

sermon in the New South church which so pleased the people that
he received a call to the pastorate at once. He was installed as
pastor May 19, 1773, but on account of the occupation of the
city by the British he was forced to leave, and while on a visit to
Hartford he was attacked by a sudden illness from which he died

at the remarkable age of 103 years; he d. Shutesbury, Mass., April

Her great-grandfather, John Winter, came from England in 1633 and
settled in Watertown, Mass., his occupation being that of a tanner.
Two of his sons, Richard and Thomas, and a daughter, Alice,
remained in London, from which fact it is inferred that he also was
of that city. He d. April 14, 1662, at the age of 90, leaving his
property to his son John, who settled at Cambridge Farms, where he
d. Jan. 18, 1690. SamueU Winter, b. March 16, 1684/5, settled
early in Killingly, where he became a large land owner. He married
Elizabeth Philbrick in Groton, Mass., Nov. 18, 1690, dau. of
Ephraim3 Philbrick, John2, Thomas1. This Thomas came from
Lincolnshell, England, in 1630, and settled in Watertown. The wife
of John2 Philbrick was Ann Palmer. The wife of Ephraim^ Phil-
brick and mother of Elizabeth, wife of Samuel Winter, was Elizabeth,
dau. of Ellis2 Barron, Ellis1. The elder Ellis Barron was of Water-
town before 1641, where he was Constable and Selectman. His son
Ellis settled in Lancaster, Mass., and married Hannah, dau. of
Timothy Hawkins, who came to Watertown in 1635.
On Feb. 3, 1748/9, Samuel Cady received from his father, as a
part of his portion, a gift by deed of seven acres of land, situated
on the county road from Woodstock to Providence, adjoining to
land of Benjamin Cady. June 4, 1756, Samuel Cady bought of
William Farmer of Killingly 60 acres of land with dwelling, etc., for
^3000 in bills of public credit, according to old tenor.* He seems
♦Vide Town Records of Killingly, Conn., vol. 6, p. 148.
DESCENDANTS OF NICHOLAS CADY. 65
to have been a well-to-do farmer of those days. He disposed of
his real estate in Killingly and removed to Shutesbury, Mass., in
1764, where he bought a farm just west of the old center and where
he spent the remainder of his life. In July, 1890, the writer visited
Shutesbury and the old farm where Samuel Cady lived, and later
where Robert Allen, who married his daughter, Rhoda, also lived a
few years. The old house had been taken down about two years
previously, leaving the stone foundations and the cellar to mark the
site. The little garden plot surrounded by a stout stone wall still
remained. Dr. White bought the farm about 1830 and lived there
many years ; at the time of my visit the farm was owned by Martin
Newell.
Samuel Cady, like his grandfather, Capt. Joseph Cady, was not
lacking in patriotism when his country needed his services, for not
only himself but his three sons served in the army. His daughter,
Rhoda, grandmother of the writer, used to relate that her father was
three years in the army, and that her mother and daughters did duty
on the farm in his absence. The services of Samuel Cady and his
sons, Jason, Jeremiah and Samuel, are found on the Revolutionary
records at the statehouse in Boston. There is there a receipt, evi-
dently in the handwriting of the elder Samuel, for a bounty of jQgo
received by him for three years' service in the army, dated April 6,
1781.
Further evidence is found that the elder Cady enlisted as a private
in Lt. John Trask's company of Col. David Leonard's regiment,
Feb. 26, 1777 ; was in service 44 days and marched to Ticonderoga,
and was discharged April 10, 1777; that he enlisted again in the
same year, Aug. 22, in Capt. Moses Harvey's company, Col.
Woodbury's regiment, and was discharged Nov. 22, 1777. Of his
personal service, other than the above, I have no knowledge. The
foregoing has been given for the benefit of any descendants of
Samuel Cady who may desire to become Sons or Daughters of the
Revolution, the writer having been admitted to the Society of the
American Revolution on the above evidence.

James Leach had service in the Revolutionary war for six months
as private, from June 26, 1776, in Capt. Asa Bacon's Co., Col.
Chester's Regt. ; also two months in 1777 in Capt. Ephraim Lyon's
Co., Col. Barton's Regt. ; and four months as Sergeant in Capt.
Joseph Durke's Co., Col. Levi Wells' Regt. He was in the battle of
White Plains, and received a pension, as did his wife for this service.
Mr. Leach removed to Pawlet, Vt., in 1780, and settled on the
Willard Tract, which was granted by Benning Wentworth, located
on the east side of the old bridle path running from Bennington to
Danby, which path was surveyed in 1773 and laid out for a highway
in the following year. He was a carpenter and joiner, but he first
built a log house for himself. He built the first framed house in
town in 1785. He contracted to build about 40 barns at $40 each?
taking the timber from the stump and preparing it himself. He
built the first brick house in town in 1804, making and burning the
brick himself. This house is still standing in good condition. He
was the chorister of the M. E. church for some years, Selectman
from 1800 to 1809, and represented the town for several terms in the
Vermont Legislature. Mr. Leach, being a man of forceful character,
did much to shape the affairs of the town in early days. Both he
and his wife bravely endured many hardships in their early pioneer
life, but succeeded in establishing a fine home for themselves and
children. For some years the nearest grist mill was at Bennington,
thirty miles away. Mrs. Leach was an adept in the art of weaving,

and wrought from wool and linen for table and bedding purposes
many elaborate patterns so highly prized in these days. In 1815,
aged and infirm, they gave their property to their three sons to be
cared for during the remainder of their lives, giving to their
daughter Eunice the sum of $800 in cash.

104. Williams Cady, (William 4, Sergt. John 3, James2,

the records of Plainfield, Conn., and near vicinity have thus far
failed to reveal the date or to wnom William Cady was married, but i t
is very probable that he was married before he left Plainfield to
settle in Dalton, Mass. It is probable that he went to Dalton with
his father about 1771, but we have but one definite record of him
there, and that is the date of his death on the Dalton records as
June 25, 1790, in his 60th year. We feel justified in applying this
record to him as there was no other one of the several William
Cadys of the locality to whom the date could refer. The widely
separated dates of birth of his children allow us to suppose that he
was twice married. He is said to have been one of the eleven
proprietors of the town of Naples, Ontario Co., N. Y., in which
township Canandaigua is now located.

Nicholas1), b. Plainfield, Conn., Oct. 17, 1731 ; m. Jan. 8, 1755,
Abigail Lawrence, dau. of Thomas. He m. (2) Letitia ,
who survived him. We learn from the Registry of Deeds at Pitts-
field, Mass., that Jeremiah Cady of Plainfield, Conn., bought land in
Windsor, Mass., July 6, 1767, of William Williams for ,£15. On
Dec. 5, 1769, he is said to be of Windsor, where he is recorded as
buying land there. From that date till 1780 there are eight entries
of land transactions by Jeremiah Cady of Windsor. On Sept. 1,
1780, Jeremiah Cady of Dal ton deeds land in that town to son
Jeremiah Cady Jr., in presence of William Cady 3d and Phineas
Cady, sons of Jeremiah. He doubtless reckoned his father as
William 1st, his brother as William 2d, and his son as William 3d.
The last entry is Feb. 24, 1786, when Jeremiah Cady sells land in
Dalton.
Jeremiah Cady and four of his sons, at least, sustained their
patriotism by serving their country, for he and sons William and
Phineas marched April 22, on the Alarm, to Cambridge, where the
father was Major in Col. John Patterson's Regt. till Aug. 1, 1775,
and his two sons were privates during the same time. Jeremiah
Cady Jr., the boy of 15, enlisted in the same regiment June 3 of
same year and served two months and three days. Another son,
Warren Cady, enlisted Oct. 12, 1781, on an alarm, and served 18
days. The sons William and Phineas both enlisted in the
Continental army and served for several years.
Jeremiah Cady died in Saratoga in 1798. His son John was
granted letters of administration Nov. 5, 1798.* The after history
of this family has not been ascertained by the compiler, save that of
Jeremiah Jr.

Partridgefield (now Peru), Mass., bought land in Dalton, Mass., Sept.
l7> 1 779- On April 12, 1803, Eleazer Cady of Partridgefield bought
land in that town. On April 8, 1805, Eleazer Cady of Dalton
bought land in Hinsdale, Mass. He assisted in building the Baptist
church in Hinsdale in 1797, and became a deacon of that church.

Albany Co., (King's Dist.) militia, raised for the defense of the
Colony in the Revolution, of which Asa Waterman was Lieutenant

Rev. Isaac Foster was the first minister of the Congregational
church in West Stafford. Hezekiah Cady and his wife were both
members of this church, and Mr. Cady became one of the
deacons. The church was located on what was then known as
Meeting House Hill. Rev. Isaac Foster was first settled on the old
Congregational platform. After a few years he changed his faith
and became a Universalist. The church became divided and so also
was the Cady family in their belief. Hezekiah and his wife became
Universalists, Jesse and Asa remained Calvinistic, and Jedediah
became Methodist.

b. Stafford, Conn., 1751 ; m. 1773, Jerusha, dau. of Moses Chapin
of Somers, Conn. He d. May 8, 1810; she d. July 22, 1829. He
resided in West Stafford, Conn., upon or near the homestead of his
father Jonas. The Stafford Town Records, vol. 4, p. 186, show
record of deed from Jonas to Jesse Cady of an estimated fifty acres
for the consideration of £50 "for and in consideration of love,
goodwill and affection, which I have and do bear to my son Jesse
Cady of Stafford, and for other good consideration, me moving
thereunto." The above deed is dated April 12, 1773.
Jesse Cady filled many positions of trust. He was elected Repre-
sentative of the town of Stafford for eleven consecutive years. He
was appointed Justice of the Peace in 1783. In May, 1795, he
became Judge of the Court of Common Pleas for Tolland County,
also Judge of Probate for the District of Stafford, which included at
that time the towns of Stafford, Somers, Ellington, Tolland, Willing-
ton and Union. He was also appointed State Attorney, May 17,
1798. These offices he held until his death. For many years he
served as deacon of the Congregational church in West Stafford. It
is related that one of the first official acts which Jesse was called
upon to perform after his appointment as Justice, was to unite a
couple in marriage. His brother Hezekiah, thinking to surprise and
confuse him, came to the wedding as a self-invited guest in his work-
ing garb from the field. Jesse was equal to the occasion and turned
the surprise upon his brother by saying that it was customary to
have prayer offered at the close of wedding ceremonies, and invited
Hezekiah to pray.

10, 1 83 1 ; she d. May 11, 1844. They were buried in the old
cemetery in West Stafford Street. Jedediah Cady was born in West
Stafford, on the original homestead purchased by his grandfather,
Daniel Cady, in 1741. He was probably named for his uncle
Jedediah, who lived and died in Killingly. He enlisted in the war
of the Revolution Jan. 7, 1778, in the company of Capt. Roswell
Grant of East Windsor, Conn. He served nearly three years and
was honorably discharged Dec. 9, 1780. The pistol that he used
during the service is now owned by one of his grandsons. About two
years after his discharge from military service Jedediah Cady married
Rhoda Holmes. Her half brother, John Holmes, married Esther,
dau. of Timothy Cady. Her sister, Sarah Holmes, married Solva
Converse, and another sister, Mollie Holmes, married Abner Cady.
By these marriages the Cady, Converse and Holmes families of
Stafford first became related.
Jedediah and Rhoda Cady settled in the immediate vicinity and
in the same district of his birthplace. He first purchased 17^ acres
of land of James Morris, March 13, 1783. On Oct. ro, 1786, he
purchased of Isaac Cushman, 80 acres of land for ^200. This
farm is located on the east side of the road from old West Stafford
Street, or Meeting House Hill, so called, to South Wilbraham, now
Hampden, Mass., the second farm south of the state line. This
farm has since been known as the Walter Temple place. The farm
north of this, adjoining the state line, was owned by his brother,
Dea. Hezekiah Cady, and afterwards by his son, John Cady. Here
it was that all the children of Jedediah Cady were born, with the
possible exception of Sarah and Olive. April 15, 1807, he
purchased of Stephen Scott, the Tray Hollow* farm of 75 acres*
bounded and described as follows : " North on said Jedediah Cady's
land, west on Elijah Town's, south on Daniel Carpenter's and
Ebenezer Harris', and east on Noah Trask's land." The amount
paid was $1300. The family removed to Tray Hollow in the spring
of 1808. After removing to Tray Hollow Jedediah Cady "Kept

an attic, standing on the west side of the road. Since his time it
has been removed and replaced by a more modern dwelling. A
perennial spring on the hillside furnished an abundant supply of
running water for the house and barn. The out-buildings were two
barns, a cider mill and a "Still House" for stilling cider brandy.
The tavern sign was a square one, suspended between two posts
opposite the house, having the picture of a lion on one side and on
the other "Travelers' Home," with the significant motto, "Pay
to-day, trust to-morrow." As was the custom of those days, patrons
were served with rum or cider brandy in moderate quantity. As
may be supposed, Jedediah Cady did not allow his house to become
a low resort, for he was an ardent Methodist and his house was a
meeting place for the brethren, where frequent services were held,
and a favorite stopping place for the circuit preacher. Aunt Rhoda
Cady was a model cook, which fact added much to the fame of the
Tavern, and her delicious gingerbread became famous, and its sale
on "Training Days" added many an honest penny to the household
treasury. It is said that her skill as a cook has been inherited by
her daughters and granddaughters down to the present time.

He enlisted as a soldier in the Revolutionary war July 18, 1782,
served till the close of the war and was discharged in Nov., 1782.
He went from Pomfret, Conn., and settled in Alstead, N. H., in
1763. The record of Isaac Cady's family is not as complete as
could be desired ; it also seems evident that the births of two sons
at least did not have their record on the Alstead books, viz. : Noah
and Calvin, so with great probability they have been added to the
list here, for we find that Isaac, Noah, Jacob, Calvin and Lavina all
settled in nearby towns in Vermont at an early date soon after
marriage, which fact lends strength to the idea of their close relation-
ship. The dates of birth of several of the children are tentative,
but probably very nearly correct.

141. Jeremiah s Cady, (Samuel 4, Stephens, Capt. Joseph 2,
Nicholas1), b. Killingly, Conn., July 17, 1752; m. Nov. 12, 1772,
Hannah Warner, dau. of Aaron and Ruth (Sheldon) Warner of
Amherst, Mass., bapt. June 30, 1754. Her grandfather was Jacobs,
Joseph2, Andrew1 Warner, the emigrant to Cambridge, Mass., 1632,
of Hartford 1639, and an early settler at Hadley, Mass. Jeremiah
Cady d. Hadley, Mass., June 4, 1848 ; his wife d. abt. 1829.
Jeremiah Cady removed with his parents from Killingly, Conn., to
Shutesbury, Mass., in 1764. He belonged to a race noted for its
military spirit, and early imbibed the spirit that was stirring the
minds of men to action. At the age of twenty-one he made a visit
to Boston, in December, 1773, and chanced to attend that remark-
able meeting at the Old South Church which set the pace for the
American Spirit of Independence in the determination not to allow
tea to be forced upon them against their will. Fired by the im-
passioned speech of Samuel Adams, he accepted the invitation to
join the immortal tea party that consigned the obnoxious cargo of
tea into the hands of Neptune on the night of December 16, 1773.
In after years he often recited the incidents of his connection with
that tea party, and although his name does not appear in the
imperfect list which has been published, there is no doubt that he
was a member of the party, for he was a man of probity and not
given to vain boasting, and with others his name was carefully
concealed for politic reasons.
The hill town of Shutesbury was not lacking in its expression of
patriotism, and on one occasion when the Cadys and others had
planted a liberty pole, Mr. Hill, the rank Tory minister of the town,
came and ordered the rebels to disperse ; whereupon he was ordered
himself to go home, and refusing to do so, young Jeremiah Cady
seized him and threw him a rod in the home direction, when the
offending one deemed it prudent to obey. Young Cady possessed a
giant's strength, and the diminutive Mr. Hill was but a toy in his
hands. In 1778 the Tory Hill found it convenient to leave town,
to the great relief of every patriotic citizen.
With such a beginning, we are not surprised to find Jeremiah
Cady early at the front in his country's service. The archives at the
State House in Boston show the following :
"Jeremiah Cady, Shutesbury, Capt. Dickinson's Co., Col. Benj.
Ruggles' Regt., received for advanced pay, dated Charlestown, July
DESCENDANTS OF NICHOLAS CADY. 119
27> 1775-" Also, "Private, same Co. and Regt. on muster roll,
dated Aug. i, 1775, enlisted May 15, 1775, served 2 mos. 21 days."
Also, "Company return dated Prospect Hill, Sept. 28, 1775."
Also, " Order for bounty coat, or its equivalent in money ; dated
Camp near Prospect Hill, Oct. 25, 1775."
He was at the battle of Bunker Hill, and it is a tradition in the
family that after six men had been shot down at a certain cannon
he quickly volunteered to take the position and kept it, doing good
service without harm to himself. The length of his service in the
army is not definitely known, although his family assert that it was
during the war.
Soon after 1800 he moved with his family to Friendship,
Allegany Co., N. Y., then 1 wilderness. A few years later he moved
to Henrietta, Monroe Co., N. Y. Then the country was just being
settled and no place had been provided for Sunday service ; so after
getting their log house in order Mrs. Cady, who with her husband
was deeply religious, observed to her neighbors that it did not seem
right to spend Sunday without some devotional service. She invited
them to her house, which invitation was gladly accepted ; Mr. Cady
opened the meeting with prayer and Mrs. Cady read portions of
Scripture, and others took part. This custom was continued till a
Congregational church was organized in 1818. Jeremiah Cady's
name appears as one of its members. He later removed to Cuba,
Monroe Co., to live with one of his children, but after the death of
his wife he returned to Massachusetts and spent his last days with
his daughter Salome, Mrs. David Cook, in Hadley, where he was
kindly cared for in his extreme old age.

iii. Rev. John Clarence Allen, D. D., b. July 28, 1848; m.
1874, Julia I. Johnson. Dr. Allen comes from an
ancestry distinguished for religious constancy. His
ancestors for generations were Baptists, and in
his early home he was surrounded by religious in-
fluences which shaped his future career. He
received his preparatory education in Wallingford
high school, and in Black River Academy, Ludlow,
Vt., and was graduated with highest oratorical
and other honors at Madison (now Colgate) Uni-
versity, Hamilton, N. Y., in 1S74. He entered
upon his first pastorate in Newark, N. Y., in 1875,
followed in order of time by pastorates in Elizabeth,
N. Y., Hanson Place Baptist church, Brooklyn,
N. Y., and Bergen Baptist church, Jersey City, in
all of which charges success has crowned his efforts
and large numbers have been added, and more than
seven hundred have been baptized by him. In the
midst of a revival in Bergen church his health
broke down, and he has since preached only as
strength and opportunity have permitted. In 1895
the deserved degree of D. D. was accorded him.
He has been influential in raising large sums for his
denomination, and his activity in temperance and
other reform work is highly commendable. He is
also active in a number of social organizations.

She was educated in the common schools of Vernon and at the
Vernon Select School, with Oscar Lee, principal, a graduate of
Amherst College. In 1892 she spent some time traveling in
England, Scotland, Ireland, France, Switzerland and Italy, visiting
the most noted art galleries of the different countries, in which she
took especial interest. Mr. Allen finished his education at Chester
(Vt.) Academy. During his course of study there he taught school
in Windham, Cavendish and Vernon, Vt. Was for several years
superintendent of schools in Vernon, which office he resigned to
take the position of principal of the Taunach Institute, Hackensack,
N. J., where he remained for four terms, when he resigned and
came to Palmer, Mass., Oct. 5, 1859, to engage in the business of
pharmacy, which he conducted till 1902, when he retired from
business.
He has always held himself aloof from entering the political
arena, but has often accepted positions of trust in the various
societies with which he has been connected, holding some of the
offices for nearly twenty years in succession. He was the prime
mover and the chairman of the committee having in charge the
compiling and publishing of the history of Palmer in 1S89; was
one of the founders of the Young Men's Library Association in
136 DESCENDANTS OF NICHOLAS CADY.
1878, and has been one of the trustees since; was the prime mover
in establishing the Palmer Historical Society in 1899, and has since
been its Curator. Since 1885 he has written voluminous sketches of
local history for the press, and since 1890 has devoted much time to
the subject of genealogy, having during the time compiled and
published the genealogies of the families of Samuel Lee, Abraham
Doolittle, John Fairman, Edward Allen, William and John Scott,
Samuel Allen, and last, the present volume of the descendants of
Nicholas Cady. His line of descent runs thus: O. P.6 Allen,
(Roberts, Robert 4, Joseph 3, Nathaniel2, Edward1), which Edward
migrated from London about 1690 and settled on Nantucket Island.
He is a lineal descendant from five Mayflower ancestors, viz : Gov.
John Carver, Katherine his wife, John Tilley, Elizabeth his daughter
and granddaughter of Gov. Carver, and John Howland, who married
Elizabeth Tilley. He has two colonial ancestors who fought in the
Indian war, viz. : Capt. Joseph Cady and Capt. Aaron Cook, and
four ancestors who served in the Revolutionary war, viz. : Samuel
Cady, Shutesbury, Mass., Joseph Allen, Newport, R. I., Ebenezer
Burt, Deerfield, Mass., and Townshend, Vt., in battle of Bennington,
etc., and Lieut. Amzi Doolittle, Townshend, Vt., in Gen. Samuel
Fletcher's Regt. Sept., 1782; each of whom was a great-grand-
father. Mrs. Allen has a Colonial war ancestor in the person of
Capt. Moses Scott, and three Revolutionary war ancestors in the
persons of Lt. Dea. Oliver Noyes, Stephen Johnson and Ebenezer
Scott, so that their children are entitled to have five bars if they
join the Sons or Daughters of the Revolution.
In politics, Mr. Allen has always been a Republican ; is a member
of the Masonic fraternity and of the Sons of the American Revolu-
tion, and of the Second Congregational church of Palmer. Is a
local secretary of the Connecticut Valley Historical Society, and
Curator of the Palmer Historical Society.

Manassah Cady performed good service in the Revolutionary war,
as will be seen from the following facts gleaned from the report of
the Commissioner of the Department of the Interior at Washington :
He first enlisted in April, 1776, for one year under Capt. Benoni
Cutler of Killingly. He was in the battle of White Plains, Oct. 28,
1776. In June or July, 177S or 9, he enlisted for seven months, and
joined the army near West Point. From April, 1780, he served nine
months as Corporal of Marines on board the frigate Trumbull,
of 28 guns. They sailed from New London, and in latitude
3 6° and longitude 6o° had a battle June 2, 17S0, with the frigate
Watts, 34 guns. It was a drawn battle, but the Watts had the worst
punishment. The Trumbull went to Boston for repairs and then
sailed on another cruise for South Carolina. After his return home
from this cruise he began the study of navigation with the view of
fitting himself for a higher naval position, but the closing of the
war induced him to abandon the project. Three of his brothers
also had service in the war. Immediately after marriage he settled
(1785) in Hartland, Vt., removing thence in 1789 to the adjoining
town of Windsor, where he lived till his death.

King was b. Feb. n, 1846, Hartford, Conn., in which city he
received his education. His business, that of a wagon builder and
painter, has been continued in his branch of the King family from
the first ancestors who came to this country early in the seventeenth
century. Mr. King has never been excelled in his line of business,
either in Hartford or Somersville, where he still continues his trade.
Mrs. King obtained her education in the schools of Stafford and
Somers, and at Wilbraham Academy. After marriage she devoted
her best energies to the interests of her family, and like her grand-
mother, Rhoda Holmes Cady, excelled in the noble art of cooking.
She conscientiously trained her children in the right ways of living,
aiding them in gaining a higher education, and their later success in
life is an abiding tribute to the faithful discharge of a mother's trust.
The death of her eldest son in a coasting accident caused her such
grief that it induced a disease of the eye, which eventually nearly
deprived her of vision, but her natural energy did not forsake her,
and later she has devoted her time to the making of rugs, whose
beauty is a wonder to her friends.

July 14, 1862. Res. Somersville, Conn. At the age of thirteen,
while Alice Billings was attending the graded school in Somersville,
her teacher was forced to leave her position because of illness, and
greatly to her surprise, young Alice was asked by the school
directors to finish the term as teacher. The school directors'
confidence in her intellectual and executive ability was not
mispleased, and her success was so notable that she was requested
to fill the same position for another term. She then decided to fit
herself more thoroughly for teaching and entered Hazardville high
school, and later went to Wilbraham Academy, after which she
spent two years in successful teaching, when, as often happens, she
accepted a permanent position in matrimonial union.
Mr. Keeney finished his education with a three-years' course in
Wilbraham Academy, and then engaged service in the Somersville
Mfg. Co., owned by his father and brothers, where he gained a
thorough knowledge of the woolen business in all of the departments,
and was admitted into the firm. In 1904, an account of his health,
he left service in the mill but still retaining an interest in the same,
and engaged in dairy farming, which he continues with marked skill
and success. In 1903 he was elected to represent Somers in the
Connecticut Legislature, and served as a member of the finance
committee. He was reelected the following year, and was appointed
chairman of the finance committee. In 1906 he was elected
Senator from the 35th district and was appointed chairman of the
222 DESCENDANTS OF NICHOLAS CADY.

labor committee, in each of which he was influential. In 1908 he
was chosen Commissioner of Tolland County, which position he
still holds.

The above Robert Mayro Keeney, after attending the schools of

school, where he graduated with honors and as president of his
class in 1905. He was considered the ablest athlete of the school;
was captain of the track team for 1904, and won the " Best Athletic
Cup" for the school two years in succession. In the fall of 1905 he
entered the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for a course of
study in mining engineering. In 1907 he transferred his course of
study to the School of Mining in Golden, Col., where he intends to
obtain his degree in 19 10.
The above Grace Mabelle Keeney, after a course of study in her
native town and in Hazardville high school, desiring to cultivate a
natural gift for music, has entered the Whiting School of Music in
Boston, where she is making such good progress that she will doubt-
less remain and finish the course.
The foregoing Flora May King, dau. of Ralph and L. Lomyra
(Davis) B. King, after receiving her education in the graded schools
of Somersville, Conn., finding no opportunity to enter a higher
institution of learning, imposed upon herself the task of devoting a
part of each day to the study of the higher branches, which she
rapidly mastered, such was her intense interest in them. Then to fit
herself for teaching she took up a correspondence normal course for
teachers, which she succeeded in passing very creditably. In 1893
she began teaching in a district school in Somers, where she
remained for two years, when she was promoted to a position in the
intermediate department in the Somersville school, remaining there
four years, or until 1899, when she was advanced to the grammar
department, where she remained five years, during which time she
was gradually promoted till she had the oversight of the entire
building. At the expiration of this time she resigned to accept a

higher position as principal of a school in Southington, Conn.,
where she was popular and successful ; but being offered a still
higher position in the Northwest School of Hartford, she resigned
and accepted it, beginning work in her new charge in September,
1905, where she has found the work so congenial that she has
remained there till the present time, 1909. About 1897 Miss King
became interested with her cousin, D. H. Cady, in gathering
records of the descendants of Daniel Cady of Stafford, Conn. She
became so interested in the work that she continued the research after
Mr. Cady's death in 1902. At a meeting of the Holmes-Cady Asso-
ciation in 1906 it was voted that O. P. Allen of Palmer, Miss Flora
M. King of Somersville and F. W. Cady of East Providence be a
committee to put in proper form for publishing such records of the
descendants of Nicholas Cady of Water town, Mass., 1645, as were
obtainable, and O. P. Allen was invited to perform the task of
compiling the same. The compiler of this work is pleased to take
this occasion to testify to the faithful and patient manner in which
Miss King has performed the part assigned her.

Miss King received her education in the graded schools of Somers-
ville, later taking courses of instruction to fit her for teaching. She
began teaching in a district school in her native town at an early
age, rising to a position in the intermediate department of the
Somersville school. She resigned her position there to take a more
lucrative one in Southington, Conn., where she was advanced to the
position of principal of the largest school in town, where she taught
eleven years with success, the last seven years as principal. She is a
member of the First Congregational church of Southington, and of
the Hannah Woodruff chapter of the D. A. R., being a prominent
member in both organizations.
Mr. Smith began his education in his native town and graduated
from the Lewis high school of Southington in 1893. He has been
bookkeeper for the At water Mfg. Co. of Somersville since 1901. He
is highly esteemed by all who know him, and is an active member of
St. Paul's Episcopal church, in which he has served as choir master
lay reader, and superintendent of the Sunday school.

graded and high schools of Somersville. She began teaching in her
native town in 1898, and was soon promoted to a position in the
intermediate department in the Somersville school, where she wrought
with her sister Flora for four years with notable success, making,
with the exception of one year's interim, fourteen consecutive years
of teaching service rendered by the King sisters. In 1904 she
accepted an invitation to teach in Southington, Conn., where her
pleasing address and original way of imparting instruction won her
great favor with all. She resigned here to take a better position in a
Hartford school, where after two years of successful work she
resigned to enter the matrimonial state.

Conn., and is now in the employ of the Stevens-Duryea Automobile
Co. of Chicopee, Mass.
The foregoing Jeannie Louise King received her early education
in the common and high schools of Somers, from the latter of
which she graduated with honor and as the class prophet at the
early age of fifteen. Then she taught school two years in her
native town most acceptably. In 1905 she entered the New Britain
Normal School, where she was popular and was chosen the president
of her class. She made such rapid progress in study that she
graduated in 1907, and soon after accepted a position in the
Northeast School of Hartford, where with her sister Flora she is
making an excellent record as a teacher. The preceding five King
sisters are holders of Connecticut State teachers' certificates. The
sketches regarding them have been made more full than is usual in
a work of this nature for an object lesson, showing how patient
persistence can overcome difficulties and win abundant success.
The foregoing Howard Ernest King, son of Ralph and L.
Lomyra Davis B. King, was educated in the Somersville schools, the

high school in June, 1905. His natural testes inclined him to a
collegiate course, but difficulties seemed to bar the way, so he

1891. When his father was informed that a son was born to him he
said : " He is welcome," so the name Welcome Jedediah was given
him. He was born in Tray Hollow and spent his boyhood there,
also the first year of his married life in conducting the farm left him
by his father. The next year he sold the farm for $1800 to his
brother-in-law, Noah Chapin. He then removed to Stafford Street
and engaged in conducting a general store in partnership with
Eznall Winter. After two years he sold his interest and went to
Willington and opened another store on his own account, selling out
after two years. In 1S39 he settled in Agawam Parish, West
Springfield, Mass., where he bought real estate and made brick till
1845, when he removed to Enfield, Conn., bought land, built a
house and continued brick making and built several brick houses.
In 1855 he began the manufacture of wines from native fruits,
which increased in quantity and general favor, until in 1885 there
was a stock on hand of several thousand gallons, being the largest in
Southern New England. After the stock was sold the manufacture
was discontinued. His son Dwight was taken into partnership in
1862. Welcome J. Cady was brought up in the faith of the
Methodist denomination, but after he removed to Enfield he became
a Second Adventist. He was a man of deep religious faith, just and
honest in all his dealings, and respected by all.

The above Daniel H. Johnson, obtained his education in his native
town and in Killingly Academy. He became proficient in the
higher mathematics and in Latin and English, and for several years
was a successful teacher in the public schools of R. I. and
Conn. Later he learned the carpenter's trade and became a con-
tractor and builder with sufficient architectural knowledge to draw
and plan his own buildings, following his profession in the borough
of Danielson, Conn., until his death. He was one of the foremost
men of the community, and for many years was on the board of
Alderman of Danielson. He married, early in life, Maria Stone,
which union proved a happy one. No children were born to them.
He was successful in business and left a handsome property, and
best of all — an honored memory.
The above Jerry Johnson also gained his education in the schools
of Brooklyn and in Killingly Academy. He taught school for
several terms, and took a position as a clerk in a store. Inheriting
a love for military life from his grandsires, he enlisted, 1861, in the
first Conn. Heavy Artillery, Army of the Potomac, and served
through the war. After the war he engaged with the Norwich Lock
Mfg. Co., Norwich, Conn., where he resided during the remainder
of his life. He married Ida Thompson, by whom he had a son and
two daughters. He m. (2) Ella Bogue, who survives him. He was
232 DESCENDANTS OF NICHOLAS CADY.
a member of the First M. E. church of Norwich, also of the Grand
Army. He was highly esteemed for the consistent and even tenor
of his life.
The above George Cady Johnson passed his childhood on the
"Cady Place" in Brooklyn, Conn., inherited by his mother from her
father, Capt. Samuel Cady. His early school days were spent in
the public schools of Brooklyn and the Killingly Academy. Later
he went to Worcester, Mass., and entered the employ of Hamilton
& Dodge in the printing office of the " Palladium." He attended
the B. G. Howe Business College, and also began the study of
instrumental music under the instruction of Miss Sarah B. Collyer,
after which he returned to the Brooklyn farm and taught music to
private pupils, conducted the choir music of the Brooklyn Baptist
church, of which he became a member, from 1864, to the present,
and finished his schooling in the Danielson high school in the study
of Latin and Greek, and other preparatory studies. Having finished
school in 1876, he engaged to travel for the Appleton Publishing
Company with and under the direction of his cousin, Emily L.
Cady, a long experienced agent for the same firm then operating in
Pennsylvania. On this tour he visited the Centennial Exposition at
Philadelphia, and terminated these labors in Baltimore, Md. Here
he was elected a teacher in the State reformatory institution "The
House of Refuge," in which capacity he remained for over twelve
years, at the same time filling the position of instructor of vocal
music and chapel organist, and lastly taking on also the office of
Assistant Superintendent. He also filled the position of organist of
Trinity (Episcopal) church, Broadway, Baltimore; and in the same
city he devoted much time to the study of art, carrying on art study
after this in N. Y. City, in private schools and in the Academy of
Art and Design at 23d street and 4th avenue. Being a lover of
nature and travel he took the opportunity on summer vacations to
visit the resorts of beautiful scenery in our own land, such as
Niagara, the White Mountains, Chicago and the Great Lakes, the
Hudson, Saratoga Springs, Mt. Vernon, and the delightful ocean
voyage from Baltimore to Boston. Attracted to the Pacific coast, he
continued his natural inclination for travel and research, and in
January, 1892, sailed from New York City for Seattle via the
Isthmus of Panama, visiting with pleasure and profit many Spanish
ports of the Pacific with camera and brush, carrying away sketches
DESCENDANTS OF NICHOLAS CADY. 233
of many quaint and historic sites. During his first year in Seattle
he was elected president of the Seattle Art League. In the
following year he was engaged as teacher in the public schools of
Washington, and has continued this work for the past eighteen years
to date, 1909, with only the interval of one year, when he
conducted a general store and served as postmaster in the ancient
town of Seabeck, Wash., doing a successful business, but out of
love for schools he resigned the position and returned to teaching,
in which work he is still engaged (Nov. 1909), thus having taught
with more than ordinary success for over thirty years. He is a
member of these orders : Ancient Order of United Workmen,
Masonic Order, Royal Arch, Eastern Star, Knights of Pythias, and
has maintained his relationship as a consistent member of the
Brooklyn Baptist church since the date of uniting in 1864. He
has never married, but has found opportunity to do much
philanthropic work for the neglected and orphans, devoting to such
purposes more means in general than reserved for personal use,
although he enjoys the reputation of being one of the substantial
property owners of the incorporated town of Port Orchard, county
seat of Kissup Co., Wash., where he resides and is surrounded by
many friends and associates.

appears in Alstead, himself and wife only, so it is supposed he was
m. about 1790. He removed from Alstead and settled in Kingston,
now Granville, Vt., and has been credited with a family of 17 sons
and 2 daughters, but I have been unable to obtain any record save
of one son.

520. Isaac, b. Alstead, July 26, 1793.
279. Noah6 Cady, (Isaacs, Phineas-*, Daniels, Daniel2,
Nicholas1), b. abt. 1767. The first reliable mention of this Noah
Cady is found in the U. S. census of Vermont in 1790, which locates
him in Hancock, Vt., and gives him a household of one male and
one female, from which we may infer that he had just been married.
The town of Hancock was first settled in 1788 and organized in
1792, when Noah Cady was elected the first Constable. He
remained in town until 1820, when he removed to Braintree, Vt.,
where he died in 1848. The date of his marriage and name of his
wife have not been learned. While the fact has not been proved, it
is supposed with great probability that Noah was the son of Isaacs
of Alstead, N. H. Isaac6, a known son of Isaacs of Alstead, settled
in Greenville ; Jacob, another known son, settled in Royalton, and a
daughter, Lavina, settled in Concord, while Calvin, a supposed son,
settled in Roxbury. All removed to Vermont at about the same
time, with ages allowing them to be members of the same family.
The children of Noah Cady were b. in Hancock, Vt., with one
exception.

After a short experience as a clerk in a dry goods
store he became an apprentice to a tinsmith, and
followed that occupation till the age of 19. He
then established himself in the hardware business
in Lockport, 111., and in 1840 located in the then
new town of Milwaukee, Wis., where he soon had
one of the largest wholesale stores in the West.
Ten years later he withdrew from the business to
engage in other enterprises. In 1847 he made a
large purchase of real estate in the city of Madison,

where he took up his location and began improve-
ments on a large scale, and is said to have con-
tributed to the promotion of the interests of the
city more than any other person. Although averse
to politics, he was induced to accept the Whig
nomination for Governor of Wisconsin in 1851 and
was elected to the office, filling the gubernatorial
chair from 1852 till Jan. 2, 1854. In 1863 he was
appointed by President Lincoln assistant examiner
in the patent office in Washington and was pro-
moted to principal examiner three months later,
holding the position 9 years. He resigned and a
few years later removed to Grant City, Mo., to
spend his days.*

or until the election of Mr. Farwell as Governor of Wisconsin, as
related above, when the firm was dissolved and stock disposed of.
Mr. Cady then opened the same business in Watertown, Wis., which
he disposed of in 1857 and became associated with a large firm in
New York City in the same line. Later he was with Janes &
Lapham of Pittsburgh, of the great iron and steel works. In 1878

Mr. Cady came from a long line of cultured and distinguished
ancestry. He was a resident of Brooklyn, N. Y., from 1825 to
1865. He was admitted to the bar in 1844 and commenced
practice in New York City, where he continued a lawyer until about
1870. At the age of 25 he was elected an Alderman of Brooklyn,
and became chairman of the Judiciary of the board. At the close
of his term in 1840 he was chosen as City Attorney. In 1851 he
was elected to the New York Legislature and was placed at the head
of the Committee on the Codification of the Laws, which was
adopted by both branches of the Legislature and has since
continued the code of procedure in New York. He also served as
chairman of the Committee on Emigration, and had his suggestions
adopted against great opposition by interested parties, which
suggestions have been carried out by New York and Congress. He
served with great distinction during two sessions of the Legislature,
and was unanimously nominated for a third term but declined the
honor. He served for several years as counsel for the City Water
Board, and his plans were carried out against strong opposition. In
1859 he was elected to the office of Registrar, and later was
appointed one of the Judges of Brooklyn, and during the draft was
efficient in raising a regiment and was offered the position of
Colonel, which he declined. In 1870 he met with severe financial
losses, but undaunted he began life anew and won success out of
failure. In 1875 he removed to Washington, D. C, where he took
rank with the ablest lawyers and renewed the success of his earlier
years. As a lawyer he was judicial, keenly analytical, and prepared
his cases with great care. He was a lover of the classics, poetry
and the Bible, and above all a devoted Christian, and ever sustained
a character above reproach.*

in Providence, July 18, 1886. Both are buried in the North
Cemetery of Providence. Mr. Cady in early boyhood moved with
his father to Jewett City, Conn., where he entered a cotton mill and
became a bobbin boy, where he continued until the age of 18, when
he went to Providence and engaged with Cyrus Manchester as a
carpenter's apprentice, and remained till of age. After this he
formed two partnerships in succession for conducting the business of
house building with much success until he was about 30 years of
age. Being of a highly religious temperament, he had in early life
united with the Old First M. E. church, and was active in its field of
work. In 1831 he obtained a license to preach, and although
hampered by a limited education he was soon invited to join the
N. E. Conference, and such was his natural talent, fostered by
such study as he could devote to his chosen work, that he filled his
various appointments with approbation for many years as follows in
succession, viz. : Warwick circuit, Webster and Holland, Mass.,
Newport, Portsmouth, R. I., Attleboro, Milford, Mass., Pawtucket,
Bristol, R. I., New Bedford, Mass., Willimantic, Tolland Mission,
Conn., and South Providence, R. I. In 1S54 he was placed on the
supernumerary list, but continued to supply for several years. In
several of his appointments he built churches or closed up the work
begun by others. About 1858 he built a house in Providence, where
he lived until his death. He was a man of fervent piety, stern
integrity, faithful in his work as a builder or as minister, possessing a
kindness of heart which endeared him to all, living a life which fully
exemplified the best virtues of a Christian.

Dr. Cady Jr. practiced medicine for about forty years with a
success rarely met with. His practice extended to the different
towns bordering on his own, and even into and beyond the city of
Auburn. As was the case with his father, he never could or would
refuse to respond to the calls of the poor and needy, and never tried
to enforce the collection of an account against them. Being a man
of great ability he was often solicited to take positions of trust but
always declined to do so, preferring to give his whole attention to
his chosen profession. Both the Dr. and his excellent wife were
consistent and honored members of the Baptist church of Sennett.

Griswold, Conn., June 29, 1805. He d. New York City, Jan. 14,
1887 ; she d. there Oct. 26, 1902.
She had good training under her able father's care, and in Miss
Willard's " Troy Female Academy," so that she was well prepared
for the life battle which she had mapped out for herself in
promoting the exaltation of her sex before the law. She lived long
enough to command the respect of all and witness the accomplish-
ment of many of her cherished plans, and win the gratitude of
woman for all time. She had a leading hand in producing that
standard work, "The History of Woman Suffrage," in three
volumes. Her marriage to Mr. Stanton was singularly fortunate, for
he was in full accord with his wife's views. He was one of the
early anti-slavery agitators, and a journalist who won many honors in
the advocacy of what he deemed right. He was also a born orator
and debater. He was the author of "Sketches of Reform and
Reformers in Great Britain and Ireland," and "Random
Recollections."

Mr. White is descended from " the Puritans of old
England, and in this country he traces his genealogy
through a long line of God-fearing ancestors to
John White, who twelve years after the landing of
the Pilgrim Fathers at Plymouth first settled at
Cambridge in 1632. It is a distinguishing charac-
teristic of the White family to have always enjoyed
the confidence and esteem of their neighbors, as
witness Nathaniel, son of John, a member of the
General Court or Legislature of Connecticut from
DESCENDANTS OF NICHOLAS CADY. 353
1659 to 1 7 10; his last election was his 85 th, and
his age 81. In those days an election was held for
each session, and many times more than one session
was held during the year.
"After receiving a New England high school educa-
tion Mr. White entered early upon a business
career, first in Boston and later in Springfield, Mass.
In 1 87 1 he removed to Memphis, Tenn., and
engaged in the insurance business. In 1877, at the
request of the receivers of the Mutual Life
Insurance Company of St. Louis, he removed to
that city to assist them, and there he has since
resided. In January, 1883, he became Deputy
Circuit Clerk, and with the exception of two years
spent as secretary of a mining company, he held
that very important position for a period of twenty
years, serving under three Republican and two
Democratic clerks. He discharged with great zeal
and fidelity the numerous and exacting duties of
that office."
Mr. White was made a Mason in De Soto lodge, No.
299, Memphis, Tenn., in 1874, and since then he
has successfully passed to the highest degrees in
Masonry, including the Scottish Rite, and has held
and honorably filled many of the highest official
positions in the order. In 1908-1909 he held the
office of Grand High Priest of R. A. Masons of
Missouri. " Few men and few Masons have such a
fine record of activity and useful service."*

As a boy Mr. Cady was studious and well behaved in school, a
good scholar and a general favorite with teachers and fellow-pupils.
He received his education in the public schools of Thompsonville,
366 DESCENDANTS OF NICHOLAS CADY.
Conn., and graduated there from the high school in 1858. He then
took a course of study in the Sufheld Institute for a year, and began
life with a good business education. Being an only son it was
natural for him to remain with his father and enter into business
with him as a partner under the firm name of W. J. Cady & Son.
He was financially successful in all of his undertakings. After living
just fifty years in Thompsonville, he left the homestead in the hands
of his son-in-law, J. W. Parker, and moved to Springfield, Mass.,
where he purchased a home, and in which city he resided until
death. During the last years of his life he became much interested
in his Cady ancestry, and collected nearly a complete record of the
descendants of his grandfather, Jedediah Cady, having spent much
time in searching the town and family records for correct data. In
connection with these families he also collected considerable material
from other branches and arranged it in proper form for ready
reference and with a possible view of publishing the same. The
compiler of this volume is gratefully indebted to the patient research
of Mr. Cady for much valuable material. It was due to his fore-
sight that the Holmes-Cady Reunion Association was formed and
still continues its pleasant and profitable annual meetings, a full
account of which will be found in the appendix of this volume.
Mr. Cady's parents were Second Adventists and he was in sympathy
with them in faith, although he did not identify himself with that
body of believers until he was past 40 years of age, after which he
was a firm believer in the doctrines which they advocated and a
staunch supporter of the same, giving of his time, money and
influence to the cause he so much loved. He held positions of trust
in the church and in the camp meeting association of Springfield
Mass., having served for several years as superintendent of the
camping ground. His honesty was never questioned. He was a
man of good financial ability and his advice was often sought by
young business men. His sterling qualities of mind and heart, his
serene and cheerful intercourse with his fellow-men, his abiding
Christian faith attracted a large circle of friends by whom he was
sincerely mourned when parted from them by death.

Mr. Cady's mother was Rebecca Smith, dau. of Thomas Smith,
whose father was a resident of Long Island and was driven from his
farm by the British during the Revolutionary war, after which
Thomas became one of General Washington's bodyguard. Mrs.

in Dryden, N. Y., in 181 6, and added to it from time to time until
it contained about 600 acres, mostly cleared from heavy timber and
stumps and put in a high state of cultivation. Mr. Cady was one of
the wealthiest citizens of his town, and did as much to improve and
elevate all of the farming and business interests of his adopted town
as any citizen who ever resided in it. He was an active and hearty
supporter of all important public interprises. He contributed $7000
towards building the Southern Central Railroad after he was 75 years
old. He was a man of conceded ability and rare good judgment, as
well as a man of strictest integrity. He held several important town
offices, including that of Supervisor, for several terms, and he was a
member of the State Legislature during the years 1850 and 1857,
and gave entire satisfaction to his constituents.

Some years before his death Mr. Cady designed and erected a
monument in Evergreen Cemetery, Central Village, Conn., as unique
as was his own personality. " It was characteristic of the man who
had played the violin, taught the young people to dance, and had
been the most popular prompter in Eastern Connecticut for nearly
half a century." The uniqueness of the shaft consists in the
emblems and inscriptions carved thereon. On one side is cut a
violin, above which are the words, "All Ready, Mr. Cady," and
below it, "At Rest." On the opposite side is the figure of a cow,
with the inscription, " Rosie, my first Jersey cow ; " above the figure
and below it, "Record: 2 lbs. and 15 ounces of butter from one
day's milk." On the third side is the name, " Mary J. Lee," and
beneath the name, "She was kind to dumb animals." And on the
fourth side the family inscription. No ch.
